VOTED FOR VAN WICK.

LINCOLN, NEB., Feb. 1S.--TWenty o.
the Democratic members of the legis-
lature who voted for Van Wyck in the
senatorial contest, and whose course has
been severely criticised, issued a long
address to-day, declaring that they voted
for J. Sterling Morton, the Democratic
nominee, at FIRST, but as Democrat
could not be elected they then voted for
Van Wyclz, because he had been desig-
mated by $4,000 votes of the state as
their choice for senator had voted to
put lumber On the free list had de-
clared generally for reducing tariff taxa
ton to a revenue basis. He had in the
senate been fearless in fighting some OF
the most wicked legislation which rail-
roads ever attempted had been de-
nounced by all those journals which are
known to be employed and paid by rail-
roads. "The bad standing of Senator
Van Wyck with corporations, their
newspapers, their attorneys and theirre-
tainers, gave him with US IL good stand
ing. He was, over all, the man in the
Republican party the most hated and
the most feared by the machine Re
publicans OF Nebraska"
They then ask that public meetings
be held to either approve or condemn
them for their votes.

G. A. r.

The subject of a meeting of the war
veterans of Kenosha county has been
under discussion among the ex-soldiers
residing in this locality for some time
past, and resulted in a meeting held in
the Grant House last Monday evening.
The meeting organized by choosing
Mr. George Hale, chairman, and Mr.. G.
&c. Limpert secretary. The chairman
stated the object of the meeting to be
the forming of local Post of the Grand
Army of the Republic. 1t being the
manifest desire of all present that this
object should be carried out, the first
important business that came before the
meeting was the selection of name.
After some discussion, motion was
made and carried that the post at Ke-
nosha be called the Erred. S. Lowell
Post" in honor of their much-respected
comrade, now deceased.
An application for charter was then
laid before the meeting, signed by about
forty resident veterans, and was referred
to Honorable E. G. Timme, to be by
him presented to the proper State Off
GERS Of the G. A. r.
On motion, committee Of three, con-
sisting of Messrs. Geo. Hale. Fred.
Stemm and Alfred Miller, were appoint
ed to draft bylaws.
On motion, a committee of three, con-
sisting of Messrs. VIM. Burt, B. F. De
Diemar and Alfred Miller, was appoint
ed to secure suitable room for the flu
ture meetings Of the Post.
An invitation was extended to all ex-
soldiers to attend the future meetings OF
the new Post, and all such were cordial
ly invited to become members.
A resolution was offered and adopted
extending their grateful acknowledge
ments to Mr.. w. R. Williams for his
kindness in granting them the use of his
parlors for this meeting.
On motion, the meeting adjourned, to
meet again at the Grant House, unless
other rooms are provided by the COM
mittee, next Saturday evening.
The formation of G.. A. r. Post at
Kenosha is move in the right direc-
ton, giving the old veteran comrades an
opportunity to meet each other in closer
and more sympathetic association than
heretofore. This paper wishes God
speed to the Fred. S. Lowell G. A. r.
Post Of Kenosha.

BRAsSvILLE.

The reporter for this paper visited the
Chicago Brass Company's works at
Brassville, few days ago, and, through
the politeness of Mr.. E. L. Ashly, pass
ed a very pleasant hour, viewing the
wonders of this mammoth institution.
The company employs about one hun
bred men, and, judging from the silence
ana close attention of the employees to
their work, this factory is veritable
beehive of industry. They have very
large and finely finished engine, capable
of exerting 250-horse power, driving all
the heavy machinery; and a smaller
engine running independently, which
runs the lighter machines, and may be
used for many special purposes.
The process Of manufacture is in part
nearly as follows The process is start
ed In the west building. There one will
see vast piles of copper and zinc in pigs,
which are the principal metals used in

making brass. Along the west side 8
| the building are sixteen furnaces, abou
sixteen inches square and about tire,
feet deep. Stored in convenient plac,
are a number of graphite or black-leaC
crucibles holding about three gallons
Into the crucible the proper proportion
OF zinc, copper and other ingredient.
are placed, the crucible lowered into the
furnance and the coal packed in around
the crucible; then the fire is started
In due time the contents of crucible is
melted and becomes a homogeneous
mass of molten brass. The crucible is
then lifted by means of a crane, and Its
liquid, fry contents poured into cast.
iron molds. where it is left to cool off.
The mold is made with one side remov-
able, and, when sufficiently cool, the in.
got of what is now brass is taken out.
The ingot has one end in a jagged and
rough condition, and is taken to the
shears to be trimmed The shears is a
marvel of neatness and dispatch" 1t
will cut with equal smoothness and
CELEBRITY single sheet of paper or piece
of brass foot thick. From the shears
the ingot goes to the mufaers, where it
is heated to a cred heat" The mufflers
are four immense oye rs, which are kept
at great heat. Into these mufflers, by
means of great, fiat, iron bake-pans, the
ingots or rolls of sheet brass are placed
and the openings closed by close-ftting
iron drop slides. From the muffler the
ingot-after cooling-is passed between
heavy rollers, where it is gradually re-
duced in thickness and increased in
width, till the brass shows signs Of crys-
talization, when it is again returned to
the muffiers, to be again annealed. This
process is repeated until the plate is re-
duced to the proper thinness. After this
the sheet Of brass is treated to various
chemical and wafer baths, securing,
trimming, scraplng, and is finally given
bath of dry saw-dust. Now the sheet
is ready to be cut up into the thousand
and one different shapes, and made
ready for the purchaser.
The works are supplied with artesian
water and also have a fine large well
which supplies them with soft water.
All the steam condensations are conduct
ed through pipes to this well, thus vast
ing but little and keeping full supply
of just the best water for the boilers.
The power used is furnished by two large
boilers there being three of them, one
is always at rest, and can be cleaned and
kept in readiness to take the place of
either Of the others.
A ramble was taken through the lower
region of the institution, where are to be
seen the massive foundations supporting
the ponderous engine, the immense
drive-wheels, the heavy rollers and
frames. There are in the works two sets
of heavy rollers that are made to exact
size, so that they are interchangeable. If
a roller gets out of order roller from
the other set can be put in its place, and
will fit exactly and work as we'll as the
one taken out. This is the only shop in
the country having rollers of the kind.
The Chicago Brass Company undoubt-
eddy has the best and most perfect shops,
and men of any similar
works in the country, if not in the world.

FARMERS INSTITUTE.

To THE EDIToR.-We have all heard
about Teachers Institutes, and know
they have become one of the regular in
stitutions among our educational forces.
Every teacher understands and appreci-
ates the value of the Institute" or if
there happens to be one who does not
he or she will be certain to get left. But
Farmers Institute is something new.
1t is not SO new, however, that it is I'M
tried. Some thirty or more Institutes
were held in different parts of the state
last winter, every one of which was a
success. Every community where one
was held last winter were anxious to
have anothe. this winter The farmers
who attended them were quick to see
their value and realize their need of the
help to success the Institute brings them.
Some forty Institutes have been held
this winter, and have been attended
everywhere by large crowds of farmers
hungry to learn. On March IL and IS
one Of these Institutes will be held in the
Methodist church, Salem. There is
room for good many people in that
church. There is room for good many
horses in the church sheds, and quite
number of good farm barns not far from
the church. Let no farmer or his wife
stay at home for fear there may not be
room for them. 1t is wonderful how
many folks these Methodists take in
when they get warmed up to the work.
The Salem people are thoroughly organ
lied to make the preparations for this
meeting. The regular Institute workers
who will be on hand are always thorough
ly prepared for their part in the pro-
gramme. Farmers wives will be great
ly interested in this meeting, and should
not fail to attend. The public will be
informed in due time of the programme
of the Institute work.
Yours truly,
r. F. ROBERTS.
